Thiocyanato Coordination Polymers with Isomeric Coordination Networks - Synthesis, Structures, and Magnetic Properties (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 20/2015)

The cover picture shows the structures of two isomeric coordination polymers that are located somewhere on an energy hypersurface. This is represented by the desert landscape, where the thermodynamically stable structure is located in the valley whereas the metastable one is located on the mountain. The image was taken in Morocco in the early morning by Christoph Teske during his vacation and edited by Jan Strüben. Details are discussed in the article by C. Näther et al. on p. 3236 ff.
